I caught myself loads of times scrolling on Reddit while not even paying attention, or while scrolling on Reddit to then close it immediately opening Reddit again to continue scrolling.

It felt just like any other social media app, scrolling mindlessly, for at least a few hours a day. I noticed this has changed since I’ve been using Lemmy, where I might spend 30 minutes a day on. I’m curious if other experience this too! It feels nice to be freed from Reddit.

    And actual content or discussions I want to engage with. Plenty of memes here, but if I want to talk about any hobbies that aren’t Linux or video games, there just isn’t much here (yet).

    So for better and worse, I also spend less time on lemmy than I did on reddit

      Also the constant outcries from vegans and environmentalists…like we get it, the world is on fire. You’re not the first to tell me that and there’s little I can do about it. It’s so exhausting.
